Cerebro- and Endovascular Neurosurgery

Cerebrovascular neurosurgery is the field of surgery specializing in the treatment of diseases and conditions of the blood vessels in the spinal cord and brain (nervous system). Endovascular neurosurgery employs minimally invasive techniques to treat the brain and spinal cord by utilizing microsurgical instruments that travel within (endo) the blood vessel system (vascular).

What Conditions Does Cerebrovascular and Endovascular Surgery Treat?

Our world-class neurosurgeons offer treatment for a variety of brain and spine vascular conditions. Along with traditional open approaches, our board-certified surgeons specialize in minimally invasive surgical procedures, state-of-the-art stereotactic radiosurgery employing highly focused radiation treatments using CyberKnife or Gamma Knife equipment, and interventional neuroradiology.

Endovascular surgical neuroradiology uses various advanced imaging techniques such as x-ray fluoroscopy and computed tomography to maneuver through the body instead of more open, conventional surgery. The microsurgical tools travel within the vascular system to treat neurological diseases and conditions.

• Cerebral aneurysms
• Brain tumors
• Arteriovenous malformations (spinal and cranial)
• Carotid stenosis
• Intracranial atherosclerosis
